genial, companionable and active gen.
tleman he was much liked in the com.

the char of Greek in the State Uni

ceptably. During the great advance in
real estate IN Kansas City he was for
tunate and made very considerable
profits by speculation there, and sought
and obtained a leave of absence for a
year, primarily to spend some time in
Greece, to see what antiquities are still
to be seen, to observe the customs and
manners of the people, and TO take
especial note of the changes between
classic Greek and the language now
used by the people of the country, both
high and low. Prot. Fleet is q born
philoIogist, the study comes to him as
a second nature, and where others
would enjoy a holiday in the amuse.

pleasure in digging among the roots of

London. 1t is not long, yet it contains

The N. Y. Tribune in an article
on the convict lease system, says
that lit belongs to dark ages" and
that Georgia has succeeded in re-
producing in an American State,
toward the end Of the ninteenth cen
fury, the hideous penal conditions
which Towards philanthropic re
searches revealed in the prisons OF
Europe a hundred years ago.
Turning 10 the economic side Of the
question the Tribune says certain
statistics show "that the sixteen
hundred Georgia convicts are leas-
ed for about $4,000 year, this be
ing the surplus left after deducting
incidental expenses. Tennessee,
with the same general system, OBJ,
tains over 500, 900 year for 1900
conyicts. The convict lease system
of the South everywhere tends to
give the lessee a dangerous power
in the State, and to make the latter
an agent for the advancement OF
private interests. 1t fosters one of
the worst forms of monopoly, and
all it's influences are degrading and
corrupting." The same system pre-
walls in this State.

an exchange:
Col. Cheves was born and educa-
ted in Georgia. Was in the Con.
federate service four years under
Jackson and Lee. With shattered
fortune he settled in Kentucky in
1866. lie then became teacher
and afterwards entered the law, and
edited the Mt. Sterling Democrat.
He was the the Tilden elector of his
district in 1876, making eighty
speeches during the campaign.
In 1879 he joined the Good Tenn
plars, and soon after became the G.
W. c. L. of the Order, which posi-
ton he now holds. In 1883 he de.
livered over sixty speeches in the
Ohio Amendment Compaign. Har
ry b. White, G.. w. G. +. of the
State, said of him: mo speaker did
US more efficient service than Col.
Cheves." lie represented the South
in the Amendment Campaign in
Maine in 1884, to universal accep.
lance.
For several years he has given up
lucrative profession for the tenn
perance and prohibition work.
Col. Cheves will be in Mississippi
for several weeks, having in view
the organization OF the Good TEN.
lars. There are only a few local
lodges in this State and the Colonel
wants to organize at least twenty
more and a Grand Lodge; after
which organization may he carried
on by the Grand Lodge. The need
of some such organization among
the temperance people Of Mississip
pi is very apparent, and a cordial
welcome should be given him
John Il. Finch, the head of the Or
der in America, says, "He is an Ell
oquent, acceptable speaker, a thor
ongh organizer, and a tried tenn
perance worker"
